 Denominationalism is a religious man-made tradition that is anti-God, antiChrist and anti-Gospel. Segregating the Body of Christ into denominated pens called churches, signing membership forms in order to be considered a member in good standing, agreeing to abide by codes of conduct and bylaws are man-made and has NO basis in scripture. There are thousands of different denominations all with different conflicting doctrines, beliefs, and teachings. They all wear different name tags, have their human founder with their own earthly headquarters, and their own doctrines. This is a total abandonment from the principles Christ desires for His Church and His prayer for spiritual unity. Denomination segregationists are responsible for the segregation of people who assemble in denominated buildings because of different denominated beliefs, all of whom claim that their particular belief system is bible based. Denominations are not supported by scripture, the early church, Christ or the ...

When repentance is preached from the misunderstood understanding of the judgmental condemning condemners, repentance is used in context of repenting from sin or you will spend eternity in the region of the dammed. The following quotes along with the scriptures cited does not support such a meaning to the word. "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8, 9.  "The word Metanoia is in every instance translated repentance. The word means a change of mind.  The common practice of reading into this word the thought of sorrow or heart anguish is responsible for much confusion in the field of Soteriology ... This definition of this word as it is used in the New Testament is fundamental.  Little or no progress can be made in a rig...

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you, Romans 8:11). It is the same power that brought Jesus into this world. It is the same power that empowered Jesus in His earthly ministry. It is the same power that enabled Jesus to submit to His Father’s will. It is the same power that enabled Jesus to voluntary go the way of the cross. It is the same power that enabled Jesus not to call 10,000 angles to free Him from the cross. It is the same power that resurrected Jesus from the dead. It is the standard power of the New Testament! It is the same power that equips the believer to work the works of God. It is the same power that is the Grace Message. And, if that same power dwells in you it shall quicken (give spiritual life to) your mortal body and enable you to BE! It is the only hell shattering, death defying, life sustaining, believer equipping, fea...

Biblical inerrancy is one of the most sensitive issues within the Christian culture. Those who adhere to its doctrine cannot fathom a world where the Bible can be from God and not inerrant at the same time. Inerrancy is the cornerstone doctrine for evangelicals. All theology for evangelicals is built upon this premise. It is my purpose in this article to make a concise, yet definitive stance against the inerrancy of the Bible. This is not just one argument, but several that when taken together demonstrate that not only is the Bible NOT inerrant, but that to hold such a doctrine is not glorifying to God either. Furthermore, I will argue that it is only by taking a progressive perspective that God is ultimately glorified. I attended a prominent evangelical seminary. One day while attending a lecture on the Minor Prophets the professor (a well-known theologian) made a statement about a particular prophecy. This particular prophecy required that we first believe a specific fact about histo...
